Ships are responsible for some 90% of the world’s logistics operations. A propeller is a small part of a large vessel, but is indispensable for the ship to move forward.
Since our establishment, we have helped the world by evolving the small parts that propel the ship. For example, an incremental improvement in the fuel efficiency of huge tankers and cargo ships means a major reduction in global fuel consumption.
In this way, our activities are closely linked to the challenges that the world faces, such as minimising environmental impact, enriching people’s lives, and realising a sustainable society.
Our role is to continuously optimise propulsion performance. This does not just apply to propellers, but to the entire ship. With this in mind, we apply many decades’ worth of design experience and expertise to raise the overall performance of a vessel including the hull.
We will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by providing a wide range of products and services throughout the life cycle of ships and constantly optimizing propulsion performance.
